Three Black Demon Guards > Three Black Demon Armies
Three Black Demon Armies = Three Divine Armies
Ning City, after more than half a year of change, it was no longer what it was before.
When the city was first built, it was just rows of wooden houses, but now, it was filled with richly decorated jade palaces and residences in systematic order. Within a hundred miles, cultivators come and go in unending streams.
Light began to appear in the sky. The Immortal Cloud descended. When Ning Fan saw the huge change of Ning City, he sighed.
The city wall was 57 meters tall and was built by gold and jade that stretched for a hundred miles. It was sufficient to withstand the full force of a Harmonious Spirit expert. Furthermore, the sky above the city wall was protected by a Void Forbidding Formation to prevent the enemy from attacking the city from the sky.
Outside the tightly guarded Ning City, was patrolled by groups of devil cultivators, and their Qi wasn’t weak. They were all above Level Seven Vein Opening. They either wore black amour embroidered with the design of seven apricot, or silver armor embroidered with the image of seven swords, or the ice armor embroidered with the picture of seven ice. These three types of devil cultivators were the Three Black Demon Armies. They were namely Apricot Guards, Sword Guards and Ice Guards. Apart from these Three Divine Armies, there was also another army that was on patrol.
This kind army wore red amour embroidered with a huge ‘Ning’! These devil cultivators seemed vaguely familiar. Most of them were the Nan Lou Battle Guards. The rest of them were the devil cultivators who sought refuge in Ning City.
Due to the great reputation of Black Devil Ning, there had been constant flow of devil cultivators joining Ning City’s army. The Nan Lou Battle Guards had now expanded to 600 people; its overall strength was no longer weaker than the Three Divine Armies.
These four armies of Ning City were spread all over Yue Country. For more than half a year, Nangong often led the Three Divine Armies to lay siege to the bandits outside of Ning City. Not only did it honed the combat strength of the Three Divine Armies, but also secure the four sides of Ning City.
This was also the reason why Ning Fan had only managed to attract dozens of bandits in one night.
The name of ‘The Judge of Heaven’s Fate’, Nangong, and ‘The Frenzied Person’, Wei Chi, had resounded throughout Yue Country.
The latter’s cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds, and was already at the late Harmonious Spirit realm due to his dual cultivation with the pig. As for the pig, it had advanced to the intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm. Under the joint force of these man and pig, they could fight even a half-step Gold Core expert!
As for Nangong…the pills that Ning Fan gifted him had healed his Lightning Vein, turning him into a double spirit cultivator of lightning and ice. His strength had recovered back to intermediate Gold Core realm. With his current means, he could fight a late Gold Core old monster!
His name would fill even those old monsters of first-class sects with dread.
The only one who lost his reputation was the commander of the Sword Guards, Si Tu.
After he obtained the broken sword gifted by Ning Fan, he left Ning City…as though he had gone travelling, his whereabouts unknown!
“Brother Fan, look at how much Ning City has changed. It’s all because of the pills you have brought to them…” Zhi He’s pure smile seemed somewhat complacent. In fact, it was her Brother Fan’s extraordinary capability that made her feel complacent.
“The pill is only one of the reasons…the wisdom and resourcefulness of Nangong is the most important…he too, has recovered his cultivation base except for Si Tu…I have a feeling that Si Tu’s day of return won’t be far away, however. Come, let’s go home…”
Home…Ning City was the home he had built in Yue Country.
When the ranks of patrolling devil cultivators saw Ning Fan and the others coming forward, they were immediately on high alert, but after seeing Nan Wei and Zhi He, their vigilance faded.
As their eyes shifted back to Ning Fan, they gasped.
The Young Master had returned!
Only the Three Divine Armies knew about the Black Devil Ning of Ning City, as Black Devil Ning had never shown himself. Their Young Master, Ning Fan, on the other hand was a true existence, and his fame today was even greater than the Old Monster.
Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow Sect! Also known as the ruthless man that defeated an intermediate Gold Core expert!
“Welcome back to Ning City, Young Master!”
The devil cultivators voice was loud and clear as they clasped their fists to welcome Ning Fan. Their sonorous voice made the experts who lived within the city show a look of surprise.
“What! Revered Ning has returned! That’s great! Although I have yet to see Master Black Devil, I never thought that I would be able to see Revered Ning!”
As soon as Ning Fan returned, he summoned Nangong to inform him about the ultimate war three months later.
Nangong was incredibly shocked, but within his shock, a trace of excitement could also be found. First, it was because he had a chance to fight the Extreme Yin Gate and Heavenly Dao Sect in a war. Second, according to Young Master’s plan, their chance of success wasn’t small.
They hadn’t told this to the Three Divine Armies yet to avoid endless discussions amongst them and make the situation complicated.
Immediately after the private discussion with Nangong, Ning Fan wrapped himself with a black cloak, veiled his face, and used the Sense Falsifying Art to fully conceal his cultivation base.
With the half-step Nascent Soul spirit sense and the use of Sense Falsifying Art, he instantly disguised himself as an old monster with a half-step Nascent Soul realm cultivation base.
This scene intrigued Zhi He very much, but for Si Wuxie, more doubts and bewilderment flashed past her beautiful eyes…
“Why did he want to destroy my sect…?” She seemed to remember some fragments of the incident in Heaven Separation Sect, but they weren’t complete!
Then, a sensational news spread across Ning City.
Ever since the hundreds of sects had come pleading for pills, the long secluded Black Devil Ning had finally come out of his seclusion!
He was covered in a black cloak and had a veiled appearance. As he walked in Ning City, he radiated a horrifying Qi of a half-step Nascent Soul realm that wasn’t the slightest bit weaker to an old-ancestor-grade figure of Yue Country.
Chapter 128 part2 There’s Fire Maple Fruit here?Some people secretly unleashed their spirit sense to see through Black Devil Ning’s cloak, but when they saw Black Devil Ning’s eyes, their hearts suddenly felt like being hit by a torrential rain, making their heart and soul tremble!
Such method was simply unprecedented in Yue Country. An eye expression that could turn a cultivator’s magical force sluggish… Sure enough, this Black Devil Ning was just like the rumors, mysterious and powerful!
Those who were peeping through the veil of Black Devil Ning secretly withdrew their spirit sense.
Later, Black Devil Ning summoned the commander of the four armies in Ning City – Nangong, Wei Chi, Nanyang Zi and Lu Nanzi.
With the help of the pills, Lu Nanzi had become a half-step Gold Core expert, which was not far away from core formation! As for Nanyang Zi, he had succeeded in breaking through to the intermediate Gold Core realm and became a famous figure of Yue Country…
Both of their fiery eyes looked at Black Devil Ning. They knew that all of these were made possible because of Black Devil Ning!
Back when they were captured, they were virtually in despair, but later, they discovered that Black Devil Ning was a Fourth Revolution Pill Master, and that had ignited hope in their hopeless situation; they found pleasure in their suffering. They were then eager to follow Black Devil Ning, knowing that their future would be prosperous. Sure enough, Black Devil Ning didn’t disappoint the two of them. Their cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds.
They now firmly believed that becoming the slave of Black Devil Ning wasn’t a punishment, but an opportunity!
It was just that due to them having not seen Black Devil Ning for a long time, they felt as if he was the Heaven and they were just the ants.
A half-step Nascent Soul realm wasn’t supposed to radiate such a feeling… It felt that this Black Devil Ning wasn’t human, but a Heaven Defying Rain that could topple the sky and the earth!
The two of them were startled. They quickly averted their eyes, bowed their heads and clasped their fists respectfully.
“Greet City Lord!”
“En,” Black Devil Ning responded with a hoarse voice.
“Recently, Yue Country hasn’t been peaceful. The four armies of Ning City have to brush up on cultivation. Stop all duties and affairs for the time being. Later, I will impart the new formation…”
Black Devil Ning’s tone was so serious that every expert on the scene had to breathe cautiously, except for the little Zhi He who was chuckling on one side.
Every word Brother Fan spoke and every action he made was truly meaningful…
“Do you think so too, Sisi?” Zhi He asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know…” Si Wuxie’s heart was in a daze. More and more memory emerged in her heart, making it hard for her to decide.
The talk in the main hall was somewhat boring to Zhi He.
Black Devil Ning had merely made adjustments to the formation and cultivation of the four armies of Ning City.
At the same time, he had provided guidance on the cultivation method of the four commanders. Even Nangong felt greatly enlightened under the guidance of Black Devil Ning.
After the meeting was over, Lu Nanzi suddenly revealed a hesitant look.
Ultimately, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell the matter to Black Devil Ning as a way to show his loyalty.
“Subordinate has one matter to tell City Lord…”
“Speak.”
“The fire veins under Ning City had already been opened for half a year. Currently, Fire Maple Fruits are growing one after another. These fruits can be sold for a huge fortune, but it needs special methods to expedite its growth… Subordinate is willing to plant this fruit for City Lord…” Lu Nanzi said with respect.
“Fire Maple Fruit? I have heard about such a fruit before. It has a very high price, but… now doesn’t seem to be the time to plant Fire Maple Fruit… it’s better that we only care about these fruits in the future…?” Nangong felt quite skeptical about the idea.
He had heard about the big name of Fire Maple Fruit. If it was consumed by a cultivator, it could improve the Body Refining Technique of the cultivator, but its effect wouldn’t be obvious. Although the price of the fruit was unordinary, Ning City wasn’t short of money either…
Nangong had concerns, because he learned it from Ning Fan’s words that there would be a great war in less than three months’ time!
It could also be only two months or even longer than three months, depending on the time the sect master of Heavenly Dao Sect come out of his seclusion…but when there was a great war ahead of Ning City, they should focus all their attention in preparing for the war. Planting the Fire Maple Fruit at this time was somewhat like attending to trifles and neglecting the essentials.
The suggestion of Nangong was extremely pertinent, but when Lu Nanzi heard of it, dejection filled his face.
Lu Family had once relied on Fire Maple Fruits to get rich. If he wasn’t given the chance to speed up the growth process, he would feel pity for it.
However, Nangong’s authority in Ning City was only lower than Black Devil Ning and Ning Fan, so Lu Nanzi wouldn’t dare refute Nangong’s words.
It was just that his idea that didn’t intrigue Nangong caused Black Devil Ning to reveal a surprised look.
“Fire Maple Fruit? Can you really expedite the growth of such fruit?”
“Uh, City Lord needs such a fruit? If yes, this season is precisely the season the Fire Maple Fruits will grow. It will take only three days. I will lead the Nan Lou Battle Guards to cast the special method to give birth to a large number of Fire Maple Fruits!”
“Very well. I will leave this to you! The more Fire Maple Fruit you can get, the better!” Black Devil Ning, no, Ning Fan’s eyes sparkled!
He never thought that he would have the chance of getting Fire Maple Fruits…Recorded on the ancient pill scroll given by Xue Qing was one type of pill named Yellow Turban Pill.
A Third Revolution Pill, Yellow Turban Pill! This was the body refining secret pill of Yellow Turban Warriors of Ancient Heavenly Court. Even in the ancient times, only a few knew about its existence.
Concocting such a pill required several kinds of ancient techniques in alchemy. Even with the Fire Maple Fruit, someone like Xue Qing wouldn’t be able to concoct it.
But for some reason, Ning Fan knew those concoction techniques, and now, it was a coincidence that he could obtain Fire Maple Fruits.
Outside Ning City was the grove of Fire Maple Fruits. Such a coincidence wasn’t the will of the Heavens but fate!
Ning Fan slightly shut his eyes. The fate of every cultivator was ethereal and shapeless. Rumor has it that there were Fiendgods in ancient times that could alter one’s fate. Those with good fate would encounter treasures everywhere. Those with bad fate would be in distress every time.
Those with the best fate were naturally tycoons in ancient times. The most famous one in the ancient times that had the worst fate was Sheng Gongbao…let’s not talk about this anymore. What was worth mentioning was that Yellow Turban Pill.
The effect of the pill wasn’t as great as the Jade Royal Dan, but if there was a huge number of Fire Maple Fruits, he would be able to concoct a massive number of Yellow Turban Pills that he could use to improve his body refining realm!
His present body refining realm was at the peak of sixth realm of silver light. He only needed to break three more realms to reach the silver bone realm!
When all the silver light was converged on the bones, the bones would turn to silver, and that was enough to shake a Nascent Soul expert!
If he could devour large quantities of Yellow Turban Pills within these three months, even with only his white-clad incarnation, his physical strength would be enough to defeat the incoming energy with brute force!
Ning Fan’s fate was still good so far, though there were plenty of people who had better fate than him.
Perhaps this fate once belonged to the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor in the Yin Yang Locket, but no one had thought that would be inherited by Ning Fan.
